Abstract: This paper offers a straightforward, nearly foolproof technique for achieving highly balanced I/O across the entire ESS (or other IBM TotalStorage) I/O subsystem - thereby optimizing overall I/O performance. This technique requires minimal knowledge of the specific application(s) to be deployed or their underlying I/O characteristics and virtually eliminates the need for manual data file placement or ongoing I/O performance tuning.
